“The ECAT bus was stopped at Cordova Mall with two passengers onboard”. More proof that ECAT is robbing our taxes. But Escambia County Commissioners are afraid to defund the bus system.
I’m just surprised 2 people were on the bus…..
Frank you’re a regular Sherlock Holmes!
Tell me, what was your first clue? The giant “transit complex” sign in the photo? The lack of flames? Wait, wait… was it the “file photo” written in bold font?
“North escambia usually does a great job but what happened here?”
Frank didn’t read or comprehend. The photo is “self labeled” with a sign that says Rosa L. Parks Transit Complex”, not “Cordova Mall”. And, the story says “File photo” at the bottom. North escambia didn’t mislead anyone and obviously knew.
The photo is not from the scene. It appears to be a file photo at the transit complex on Fairfield Dr. Transparency and accuracy in journalism seems to be fading. Does north escambia even realize the photo is at the transit complex? Doesn’t take a genius to figure that out LOL I’m sure ot wouldn’t be too difficult to obtain a photo from the scene. North escambia usually does a great job but what happened here?
Frank in Perdido for transparency.
